As President Muhammadu Buhari inaugurated the Presidential Committee on North East Initiative (PCNEI), chaired by Gen.T.Y Danjuma, senator representing Borno South has stated that Nigeria do not have the technical know-how to achieve a smooth settlement of Internally Displaced Persons in the North East.
Ndume who was speaking during the daily sit-out of the #BringBackOurGirls group stated that though the federal government is committed on the case of the IDPs,there were issues which needed to be taken care of.
He lamented that the rate of humanitarian crises in the North East was high that if nothing is done, it will continue to worsen.
“There is a need to address the impending humanitarian crises in the North East. The world had a big shock when Bama was opened. Many communities in the North East, are affected. People are trapped and are dying of hunger malnutrition and poverty,” he said.
The senator added that the greatest challenge was how the IDPs can resettle in their various communities.
“The biggest challenge is to get people back to their land but we do not have the technical know-how Unless we have an institutional frame work, it won’t be as easy. Government is committed but there is no technical and institutional framework to handle this.
“So much money was wasted during the past administration. This is the challenge we have. We are open to all forms of ideas for the way forward. All hands will be on deck. The first thing to take care of is hunger.
